Beastie Boys - Intergalactic

To me, the song that captures the soul of the Beastie Boys is 'Three MC's and One DJ'. When I think back to the most iconic song from the group, however, I point towards 'Intergalactic'.

From the masterpiece 'Hello Nasty' album released in 1998, 'Intergalactic' was released along with incredible tracks like 'Body Movin' and 'Remote Control'. 'Intergalactic' hit right as I was entering my teenage years, and I still have strong memories of the Kaiju-inspired music video. Looking back at the low budget giant robot and bright construction worker outfits, I was surprised that I didn't realize the video was actually shot in Japan. Looking at the video now it's so obvious, but I guess my 14 year old brain just didn't register it.

While writing this, I've fallen pretty deep into a rabbit hole of Beastie Boys songs, and I hope that you all take the same journey.
